Yeah, I think that the best hope for this is the relative weakening of early game cards, both through nerfs and rotations, and the vast increase in what your big drops do. Surviving against an aggro deck to play rag/ysera/alex/nefarian is often not enough. Playing the old gods probably will be. Cthun in particular will shine most against aggro decks. He will be a full board wipe+at worst next turn lethal if you're running a proper cthun deck with all of the buff minions, which will be more consistent than the rogue nonsense i was talking about earlier. Surviving till 10 is still going to be hard (though I think relatively easier) but the ability to turn a game around after 10 will be significantly increased. | ||

I simply think Brann should have worked with Choose One effects too and Fandral wouldn't have been needed. Overall I see tons of taunt and heal cards. I feel aggro decks are being pushed out of the meta with this expansion. Only paladin divine shield stuffs can make sick aggro decks. And Zoo will always be there, but zoo is in between midrange and aggro. | ||

personally, I find aggro decks super unfun and boring to play and to play against. speaking of brann. i was hoping to see a legendary card that could trigger the battlecries of minions already on the board again. maybe next time :D | ||

Living roots, Wrath or Raven Idol are good on their own and amazing with this guy on turn 5/6 or even earlier with innervate. I think its really good. 10/10 taunt for 7 also not too bad. Ancient of War will prob in lots of Druid decks with Lore being nerfed and no Boom at the 7th slot. Maybe we even see other choose cards playable. | ||

The neutral common 7 mana 6/8 taunt competes with Ancient of Lore in terms of quality. The druid 6 mana 5/7 taunt, the C'Thun neutral 7 mana for 2 4/6 taunts. The 4 mana 3/3 taunt with +0/1 for each enemy minion. There are so many taunts. I have a feeling TBK is coming back. Then again, it's possible that aggro will be so dead the taunts won't get played very much. As far as I can remember there were 0 spells that hit face in this expansion. edit: my bad. On the Hunt 1 mana deal 1 damage. lol. | ||

The rouge 3 mana deal 5 damage can hit face if they are still at full health for what little that matters(actually matters a lot with Majordomo / Jaraxxus). | ||

Depending on how the meta shifts, Rogues might actually have space in their lists for Assassinate. It's totally worth it for some of the trickier minions that cost over 6. If/once I open a bunch of cards, I'll probably try out C'thun Rogue. As is, it's probably gonna be C'thun Warrior. I think it has serious potential. | ||

Jokes aside, the combo might come too late sometimes. TBK should be nerfed imo as well. | ||
